There's a new star on set...
🎥 Arri Alexa 35 has arrived! 🎥

Available for rental in 5..4..3.. WE'RE TOO EXCITED RENT IT NOW!

"ARRI’s first new sensor for 12 years builds on the evolution of the ALEXA family over that period, delivering 2.5 stops more dynamic range, film-like highlight handling, better low light performance, and richer colors. The new REVEAL Color Science takes full advantage of the sensor’s image quality and provides a fast, simple workflow, while ARRI Textures enhance in-camera creative control. Easy operation, robust build quality, new electronic accessories, and a complete new mechanical support system round out the ALEXA 35 platform."

Basically, it does everything but play despacito...😢
